Hey all, Janx here to explain the meme! As you can see, the meme has someone asking their friend if they can copy their homework, likely because they forgot to do it. Their friend says "yes, but make it look different." This is because, if the teacher noticed two students had very similar answers to each other on the homework, she might suspect cheating, which wouldn't be good for either of the friends. Below the text of this conversation we can see a picture of a store with Japanese lettering and a logo that reads "Michealsoft Binbows." Now this may seem strange as there is no such thing as Michealsoft Binbows, but only the tech company, Microsoft Windows, whose technology you may be using to read this meme explanation right now! Michealsoft Binbows seems to be a cheap knockoff of Microsoft Windows, used to gain traction for the Japanese business as knockoffs of American brands are very common in other countries. For example, you might walk into a store in Mexico and find box of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys, but they look a little strange and aren't officially licensed. The joke here is that the friend copying off of the homework and making it look a little different to avoid detention is kind of like the Japanese company copying off of Microsoft for profit but changing the name a little bit to avoid legal issues.
